A good ad­vice to fight­ing the stage fright is to can­cel the symp­toms: walk
slow­er, breathe slow­er, drink water, and try to con­trol your voice.<

For some people it's hard to cancel those symp­toms, so if their symp­toms are
serious and the talk is quite important, they can consider a Beta blocker:

Yup, my wife advised me to mention the beta blockers but their usage is
controversial enough to make me avoid mentioning it. Nevertheless, I
know people for whom beta blockers do work.

A pill can solve your immediate problem but it doesn't make you better.
Self-training increases the power you have on your body, makes your mind
stronger and able to solve other similar problems, and doesn't damage your
kidneys. If you want to master any field you have first of all to master
yourself, there is no magic pill to escape this.
